Beholder was surprisingly easy to work with, given how much the members of Life’s Dream seemed to be wary of him. It was pretty easy to guess that he was the leader of Beholden, the group that Udona had been so worried about. Still, thankfully he didn’t seem to harbor any ill will just yet. And if he planned to use this as an excuse to frame me for stealing his quest credit? Well, we were leaving the city as soon as we were done getting the skill. After he gave us the coordinates for the hob tribe,…-

Finally, the month of torture was at an end. I mean… scribing, not torture… right. Jessex and Udona had both long since explained the plan to me, though from different perspectives. Jessex wanted to play up that the kingdom of Lyrea was more specialized for scribes, and that I’d be able to more easily find the materials I needed there. As for Udona… I’m not asking you to join the guild or anything. But it would put my mind at ease if you didn’t stay in Xanjafar. With Beholden building their…

I’ll admit, a part of me was tempted to use my remaining lottery ticket after seeing my ‘prize’. What’s the worst that could happen, I get another ten silver worth of paper? I… hope that there’s not actually a worse prize than that. Vivi… out of morbid curiosity, how many prizes are there worse than what I just got? There was a light, amused laugh when she heard that question. In all honesty, Dale, you were in the worst ten percent. There are only a few items that rate less valuable than…

I let out a long sigh as I pulled the headset off of my face, sitting up in the bed. My body felt stiff after lying in one position for so long, but also oddly well-rested. One of the nice features of Ashley’s game product was that it had a ‘sleep’ mode. That way, whenever you played the game, you could choose to have your body sleeping at the same time. Rather convenient to use for normally busy people. Nothing much happened while Hela and I were walking, with the hobs never showing up to attack…

How are things going out there? I thought towards the fairy, knowing that my message would reach its intended recipient, even if I didn’t verbally say what I wanted. And, sure enough, the fairy responded moments later. It’s weird, not being able to see all of this myself. I can still hear your thoughts, but they sound more distant, like they’ll disappear if I don’t focus on them. If I couldn’t watch through the screen, I don’t think I’d be able to tell what was going on for you, father.…

In the process of creating my ki path, I was pleased to find that I had not only gained two levels in the Ki Control skill, but I had even gained a level overall. This made me smile, even though I knew that I would be nowhere near the top level of the area. Those who had been battling this entire time would be at least a couple levels higher than myself. However, I wasn’t here to be the very best that no one ever was. I was here to enjoy myself as a player. And so, I smiled, sending a whisper towards…

Life’s Dream made contact with the scribe. A gruff voice spoke into the mind of a dwarven man who stood amidst the slaughter outside the city. Like everyone else, he wore only the most basic of clothes, having not been able to upgrade yet, instead investing in a large axe he carried over his shoulder. However, there was still something odd about the man. As he walked through the fields outside the city, nobody got in his way. It wasn’t simply his reputation that made them wary of him, but also the…

After finding a nearby inn, I spent the rest of the night performing the extremely repetitive task of creating firebolt scrolls. Once I had made ten, I received another Scribe Ticket, adding it to the one I already had in my inventory. But for the most part, I was happy with a different benefit that I received. Inscription has reached level 2! Due to your repeated diligence in creating the same recipe, you have received additional proficiency with the Firebolt Scroll recipe. I received that message…

Within the city square of Xanjara, a golden-haired kitsune jumped up onto the fountain’s edge. When she spoke, her voice carried over the calls that various people had been making to form groups. “Assembling the Life’s Dream!” She shouted out, her brown eyes lively as she surveyed the crowd. “I answer the call!” One voice spoke up, a human male with darker skin and blue eyes, possessing a lithe build as he walked towards the fountain, smiling towards the kitsune. This was a summons that…

I felt the familiar warmth of the light enveloping me, casting me down to the world of Vision Expanse. The game had been set to release at midnight, or at least the local midnight, which had a shared timezone with the city that I arrived in. This meant that the city was full of life from the… rigid NPCs that basically stood in place, staring at the crowd. What city is this? I asked mentally, having learned from Vivi that it was possible to communicate with fairies just as a Keeper would their…
